I have a best friend. Her name is Kristen. We have been friends since our freshman year in college, so that makes us almost time to celebrate our 11th "friendaversary". Kristen and I are alike in a lot of ways, but we are also very different in many ways. We have been through ups and downs together and I can honestly say I don't think I'd be where I am today if she was not in my life.
Kristen and I are having a girl's night tonight. We just got back from having dinner and now were just hanging out. She gladly gave up her Ipad so I could write this post. She understands, without me explaining, how important this blog is for me. It's one of the reasons I am grateful for her friendship.
Kristen and I don't see each other every week, and sometimes it's a few weeks before we actually talk to one another. We both have busy schedules and neither of us hold grudges when it's been awhile between texts or phone calls. It's one of reasons I'm grateful for her friendship.
Kristen and my husband get along amazingly well. They have similar personalities, which probably explains a lot. Kristen and Justin are friends. It's one of the reasons I'm grateful for her friendship.
Kristen has an amazing perspective on things. We don't always agree, but her opinion always makes sense. She never throws my thoughts away just because hers are different. We can talk about just anything and everything. It's one of the reasons I'm grateful for her friendship.
When I lost my Dad, Kristen was there for me. She gave me a hug, listened to me cry, and supported me. She still does as I continue to deal with this loss. It's one of the reasons I'm grateful for her friendship.
Kristen listened when I told her about my struggles this past December. She let me talk and when I was through she said she was sad that I was dealing with everything. She said I could always depend on her. She told me she loved me. It's one of the reasons I'm grateful for her friendship.
I could go on and on, but I think you get it. Many people go through life with a lot of good friends. I am grateful that I have an amazing best friend.
